Topic: Seminar


  
  Seminar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A seminar is, generally, a form of academic instruction, either at a university or offered by a commercial or professional organization.
The idea behind the seminar system is to familiarise students more extensively with the methodology of their chosen subject and also to allow them to interact with examples of the practical problems that always crop up during research work.
Indeed, it is important to note that, in some European universities, a seminar may be a large lecture course, especially when conducted by a renowned thinker (regardless of the size of the audience or the scope of student participation in discussion).

 Jesus Seminar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jesus Seminar is a controversial research team of about one hundred academic New Testament scholars founded in 1985 by the late Robert Funk under the auspices of the Westar Institute.
The seminar's purpose is to determine what Jesus, as a historical figure, may or may not have said or done.
Among these responses are The Jesus Seminar and Its Critics (ISBN 094434478X) by Robert J. Miller, a member of the Seminar; The Apocalyptic Jesus: A Debate (ISBN 0944344895), a dialogue with Allison, Borg, Crossan, and Stephen Patterson; The Jesus Controversy: Perspectives in Conflict (ISBN 156338289X), a dialogue between Crossan, Johnson, and Werner H. Kelber.

 Harvard Gazette: Seminar: Stereotypes persist about women in academia
These were just some of the comments that emerged in the seminar on "Gender in the Classroom" last Friday - one of several events in the three-day summit on women in academia sponsored by the Radcliffe Union of Students and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences' Women in the Social Sciences.
In the video, Marina, a student arguing forcefully with a male student in class, was praised by the women in Warren's seminar for both her politeness and her ability to stand by her arguments.
Similarly, some seminar members said they noticed what their female teachers wore and subconsciously factored that into their assessment of the teacher, while holding their male teachers to a different standard.

 Jesus Seminar Description
The Jesus Seminar was organized under the auspices of the Westar Institute to renew the quest of the historical Jesus and to report the results of its research to more than a handful of gospel specialists.
It was deemed entirely consonant with the mission of the Jesus Seminar to decide whether, after careful review of the evidence, a particular saying or parable did or did not fairly represent the voice of the historical Jesus.
During the second phase of the Jesus Seminar, which lasted from 1991 to 1996, the Fellows examined 387 reports of 176 events, in most of which Jesus is the principal actor, although occasionally John the Baptist, Simon Peter, or Judas is featured.

 Group Says Gay Seminar Illegal
The seminar was heavily criticized by James and Beverly Burrows, whose son attended the school last year and who said that their son returned home from the school “confused” about homosexuality because of the seminar, and that they have had to seek family counseling.
In a written response to the Burrowses’ allegations, she explained that the seminar discussed “an approach to the issue of homosexuality that was based on research and reasoned extrapolation,” which through presenters gave “an opportunity to refract that knowledge through personal lens and then, in reverse, to refract the personal through the objective.”
She said faculty who attended the seminar were “encouraged” about the session, and “were emphatic that no one attending could have thought the seminar was attempting to proselytize or to brainwash students or to promote a gay rights agenda on impressionable young peopleĀ….”

 The Analysis of Song
Remaining work for the next meeting of the seminar will be a fuller discussion of "Seit ich ihn gesehen" and Agawu's analysis of it, as well as a consideration of the last song from the cycle ("Nun hast du mir den ersten Schmerz gethan").
In this meeting of the seminar I presented a basic methodology for the analysis of song (within the context developed thus far), using Schubert's "Trock'ne Blumen" as an example.
Although we did not come to any profound conclusions, it soon became evident that there was an intriguing tension between the process described by the text and that described by the music: the former seemed to withhold hope, while the latter provided it through the gradual transmutation of the raindrop motif.

 Jesus Seminar
Since that first meeting in 1985, the Seminar has rejected the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, the virgin birth, all of the miracles found in the Gospel accounts, and over 80% of the teachings normally attributed to Jesus.
Therefore, the general statement and presupposition of the Jesus Seminar is that the New Testament accounts of Jesus (especially the Gospels) are not historical, and thus, not a credible source of information for the true historical Jesus.
The Jesus Seminar is viewed by the publishing media and general public as a group of refreshing scholars that base their “new findings” of Jesus on scientific and historical analysis.

 Hotsos C. J. Date "Database in Depth" and "Go Faster!" Seminar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The seminar is not meant for beginners: Attendees will be expected to have at least an elementary familiarity with database concepts in general and the SQL language in particular.
Years of experience in working with the database community strongly suggest a need for a seminar that covers relational principles in a way not tainted by the quirks and peculiarities of existing products, commercial practice, or the current version of the SQL standard.
It's aimed primarily at database practitioners (that is, people working in the database field, perhaps on a daily basis) who feel they don't have as much understanding of the theory underlying their own field as they might.
